The Escape Room
by Megan Goldin
★ 1.5 stars ★
Meh. I checked this out because I kept seeing it mentioned but didn't find it particularly thrilling or mysterious. The alternating POV structure, I felt, gave too much away too soon; the characters were pretty boilerplate archetypes (including the autistic character, whose portrayal I particularly disliked in part because she was treated more like a plot device than a person); the escape room aspect — which for me was the main selling point — quickly fell by the wayside.
